Laishui County 610 Office agents destroyed the homes of two Falun Gong practitioners on December 4, 2006. The owners of both homes inquired with the police 15 days ago but received no response.

According to witnesses, a jeep arrived in front of Falun Gong practitioner Zhang Huisen’s home in Zhaogezhuang Village, Wangcun Township, Laishui County at 2:10 p.m. on December 4, 2006. Four people in civilian clothes got out of the jeep, not carrying anything. They went directly to another Falun Gong practitioner's home, that of Mr. Qiao Yongfu. No one was home, and the front gate was locked. Two people climbed over the wall and entered the front yard. Each of them threw a brick at the window on the east side of the house. They broke the window and even the bricks broke into pieces from the brutal force.

Broken door and window

They opened the front gate and barged inside the house. They completely destroyed all doors, windows, dishes and furniture, and some home appliances. The noise of furniture being smashed, breaking glass and barking dogs attracted several neighbors who gathered and watched the intruders.

Tools used to destroy the homes were left behind by the intruders

They removed the blade from a shovel and used the shovel handle to demolish items, including glass. Within 30 minutes, a clean and organized house was turned into a disaster zone. They then went to Qiao Yongfu’s hometown and destroyed another home belonging to Mr. Qiao.

No one dared to stop the intruders during the entire process. One person said, "They came back at 11:00 p.m. [that same day]. The high beams on their car's headlight lit up the whole alley. The dogs were barking furiously!"

Other witnesses said, "They came for him [Qiao Yongfu]. They had come more than once."

A complete mess inside the house

Broken cassette player used to play Falun Gong exercise tapes

About five people from the Laishui County 610 Office went to Zhaogezhuang Village at 1:30 p.m. on June 23, 2006 and arrested Falun Gong practitioner Zhu Xiuling. They also looked for Qiao Yongfu but went to his neighbor’s home by mistake. They kicked the door and became angry when they realized it was the wrong home. They then went to Qiao Yongfu’s home and jumped over the wall because the front gate was locked. They cut the window screen with a knife and squeezed inside the house, then turned the whole place upside-down. Baby clothes were strewn about everywhere. They smashed a case of fresh milk bottles for the baby and took a Falun Gong exercise tape. They went back in the middle of the night and since then have since never stopped harassing the family. Sometimes they harass them as often as three times a day. Qiao Yongfu and his wife were so frightened that they were forced to leave their home to avoid further persecution.

Mr. Qiao Yongfu, 58, had been weak and sickly since a young age. His wife suffered from neurogenic (nervous) hypertension and also vomited frequently. Both recovered after they started practicing Falun Gong and became energetic and happy. After the wicked Communist regime began persecuting Falun Gong in 1999, Qiao Yongfu and his wife went to Beijing to appeal for Falun Gong. They were illegally detained, sent to brainwashing classes, and Laishui County 610 Office agents had extorted money from them, in the form of illegal "fines." Their son and daughter-in-law, also Falun Gong practitioners, were persecuted until they too left home.

The Minghui/Clearwisdom website exposed the illegal arrest of Falun Gong practitioners Zhu Xiuling and Qiao Yongfu on June 23, 2006. The perpetrators fanatically retaliated against the practitioners.

Mr. Qiao Yongfu's daughter Qiao Jinghong learned about the break-in at 3:00 p.m. on December 4, 2006. She immediately reported the incident to the Laishui County Police Department and to the Wangcun Township Police Station, but all officials at the county, township and village denied any knowledge or involvement in the incident. Later it was learned that Laishui County 610 Office agents, including Wang Fucai, were the perpetrators. The officials said other departments would not overstep their authority and would not get involved in such incidents.

Below are eyewitness interviews.

On the morning of October 24, 2006, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Liu Hongwei from Jilin City was arrested by plainclothes police, without a warrant, when he was doing business at the Chaoyang District Tax Bureau in Changchun City, Jilin Province. His wife Ms. Mu Ping, a practitioner, was also arrested. Jilin City state security agents and the police from the Mengjiatun Police Station in the Chaoyang District of Changchun City illegally searched their home. They took away their computer, bank deposit book and savings of 70,000 yuan, Falun Gong books, and truth clarifying DVDs. On October 25, Mr. Liu and Ms. Mu were sent to the Jilin City Detention Center, where they are currently detained.

The police have frequently interrogated Liu Hongwei and extorted a confession from him by using harsh methods to gather information to keep persecuting him during his imprisonment at the detention center. During one interrogation, they took him from the detention center in the morning and returned him after 4:00 in the afternoon. That afternoon the police forced him to sit on the iron chair and he was unable to walk after he came back. His back was also severely injured. After a long period of time, Mr. Liu was taken back to interrogation, and was only able to move step by step with the support of the windowsill. Mr. Liu still has difficulty walking.

After the couple were illegally arrested, Ms. Mu Ping's mother, who is 76 years old, could not withstand the sudden shocks, and her heart disease recurred. Mr. Liu Hongwei's 74-year-old mother was close to mental collapse. She bore tremendous mental pressure and went to Chuanying District Police Department in Jilin City many times to inquire of policeman Wang Shouyi about her son's status. After a kind person disclosed to her that her son had been so badly beaten that he had difficulty walking, his mother was very worried. She found Wang Shouyi and questioned him as to why her son had been beaten so badly that he could not even walk and requested to see him. Wang Shouyi deceitfully replied, "It is impossible. We don't beat people."

In April of this year, Falun Gong practitioner Mr. Wang Jian'guo was persecuted to death. Wang Shouyi was one of the main people responsible, as at that time Jilin City state security agents had secretly instructed Wang Shouyi to handle Mr. Wang's case. On the day before Wang Jian'guo was tortured to death, Wang Shouyi went to Jilin City Detention Center to interrogate Mr. Wang. He therefore knew full well the reason for the death of Mr. Wang Jian'guo.

Ms. Wan Xiuying is a Falun Gong practitioner from Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia. On December 8, 2006, she went missing on the train from Tongliao to Hailar, and family members were very anxious and looked for her everywhere. On December 14, Shao Jun, who works at the National Security Group of Kerqin Police Branch in Tongliao City, said that Ms. Wan was illegally detained in Hailar City Railroad Police Station. Ms. Wan was later detained in Hailar Detention Center. Her current situation is unclear.

The relatives asked Shao Jun to take Ms. Wan back to Tongliao City but he refused.

Ms. Wan is 59 years old and has benefited greatly, both mentally and physically, since she started practicing in 1998. Because of her determination to practice Falun Gong, she has been constantly subjected to persecution since July 20, 1999.

During the past several years, Ms. Wan has been:

• detained three times at Hexi Detention Center in Tongliao City, totaling 72 days,
• forcibly sent to a brainwashing center for 22 days, and
• arrested once outside her front door and detained for a day.

In addition:

• the police broke into her home once to arrest her,
• her home was ransacked five times,
• her home phone was bugged, and she was followed,
• during the holidays, the police and local officials often came and harassed her.

In addition, the police and local officials often go to the workplaces of her relatives to harass and interrogate them, including her son, daughter-in-law, and the daughter-in-law's father. Ms. Wan's daughter Wang Ying is a teacher in Tongliao Experimental Elementary School, and she was illegally detained several times and sent to labor camp for three years for publicizing "Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" and "Falun Dafa is good." At the Hexi Prison in Tongliao City and the Tumuji Labor Camp, Ms. Wang Ying was brutally persecuted. Her limbs were shackled, she was handcuffed and hung up in the death bed, beaten with a club, electrically shocked with two high-voltage batons, and beaten by several people in turns. In the end, Ms. Wang Ying was crippled from the torture. A cranial CT and examination revealed lesions, myocarditis, hearing loss, and other problems. Finally, Ms. Wang's daughter Wang Ying was in a life-threatening situation, and was sent home from Tumuji Labor Camp in January 2002.

At 3:00 a.m. on April 29, 2004, Ms. Wan was arrested when she was distributing truth-clarification materials. Ms. Wan went on a hunger strike for twelve days to protest the unreasonable persecution. It was not until Ms. Wan was in a life-threatening situation did the police contact her son Wang Zhe to take her home.

Seeing his mother persecuted so severely, Wang Zhe sternly told the police, "You people also have parents. You only send her back after she was tortured to this extent. Do you still have a conscience?" He carried Ms. Wan upstairs and then went downstairs to reason with them. By then, the police had already left.

On December 8, 2006, Ms. Wan was missing on the train between Tongliao Station and Hailar Station. Her family members looked for her everywhere. On December 14, according to policeman Shao Jun, Ms. Wan was illegally detained at Hailar Railroad Station. She was later transferred to Hailar Detention Center.
